Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 35: Ninety-eight Percent Certainty

Han Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Leaving Leizhou, crossing Qingzhou, and heading to Luzhou, was that an attempt to avoid him?

As for the two sisters encountering an accident, that was nothing out of the ordinary.

Generally, it was safer for cultivators at the Vital Spirit Realm to travel across provinces. It was less likely for accidents to occur. If cultivators below the Vital Spirit Realm wanted to travel across provinces, it was best to do so around noon. Otherwise, accidents were bound to happen sooner or later.

The two sisters were still stunning beauties, making it even more likely for accidents to occur. Human skin masks were useless in front of cultivators at the Vital Spirit Realm.

Although there were few cultivators at the Vital Spirit Realm in Fengyang Prefecture, less than twenty, there were many in the entire Leizhou.

Leizhou was one of the eighteen provinces of the Great Qian Dynasty, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles and consisting of twenty-three prefectures, including Fengyang Prefecture, Zhenyi Prefecture, and Fenglei Prefecture.

Excluding the four major sects and the cultivators at the Vital Spirit Realm in the prefectural city of Leizhou, there were approximately five hundred cultivators at the Vital Spirit Realm in the twenty-three prefectures. The number was slightly lower for the five major powers, around four hundred.

In other words, there were about nine hundred cultivators at the Vital Spirit Realm in Leizhou, mainly concentrated in the five major powers, followed by the prefectural cities, and finally the prefectural-level sects.

Why did the two sisters have to go to the prefectural city of Zhenyi Prefecture? The probability of being discovered by a cultivator at the Vital Spirit Realm was quite high.

They wanted to escape to another province to avoid being pursued, but when they encountered danger, they came back to seek his help. This was truly ironic.

"What is the name of that cultivator at the Vital Spirit Realm and what is their cultivation level?" Han Li asked.

He was inclined to agree with Lin Yiwu and take her as a concubine. Moreover, Lin Yiwu was young and for some reason had not joined a major sect. She had cultivated all the way to the Sea Opening Realm, indicating that her aptitude was not bad, possibly even better than Qiuyue Yao.

However, Han Li was always cautious and didn't want to rush into saving someone without first understanding the enemy's information. Knowing oneself and the enemy leads to victory in every battle.

In short, he wanted to increase the chances of successfully saving the person.

If that cultivator at the Vital Spirit Realm was too strong and the risk of saving the person was too great, Han Li would give up.

To achieve longevity, one must be steady and not reckless.

Before coming here, Lin Yiwu had already spent a large sum of money to purchase information from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower. She immediately answered, "His name is Cui Pingyu, at the seventh level of the Vital Spirit Realm, from the Hehuan Sect."

After speaking, Lin Yiwu looked at Han Li with anticipation in her eyes.

Han Li was her last hope, but she had no certainty that Han Li would agree.

After all, this was a cultivator at the later stage of the Vital Spirit Realm, and he came from a major sect. Although Han Li was also at the Vital Spirit Realm, his cultivation level was likely inferior to Cui Pingyu's, so the probability of him agreeing was very low.

Facing Lin Yiwu's eager gaze, Han Li's lips curled up slightly as he said lightly, "If you want me to deal with a cultivator at the later stage of the Vital Spirit Realm, it's not impossible, but you'll have to pay more."

Pay more?

Lin Yiwu's expression changed from surprise to astonishment, and her heart felt heavy.

She blinked her eyes and weakly said, "Elder, I don't have that many spirit stones and treasures."

As a cultivator who had just broken through to the Sea Opening Realm, the spirit stones and treasures on her were already depleted during the gathering of scattered cultivators. She didn't have enough spirit stones to ask a cultivator at the later stage of the Vital Spirit Realm to take action.

No money, and it seemed like there was no other way!

"I don't need spirit stones or your treasures," Han Li said with a smile.

Lin Yiwu gritted her teeth and asked directly, "Then what else does Elder need in order to lend a hand?"

In any case, she had to ask Han Li for help. She could tell that Han Li wanted to help, but he was hesitating about something. She needed to offer a higher price to make Han Li have no reservations.

Han Li took a deep look at her and said lightly, "Just you alone is not enough."

Lin Yi Wu was first stunned, then shook her head vigorously and said, "No!"

This Han family ancestor actually wanted her sister, Lin Yi Yin, to be his concubine. Wasn't it enough to have her?

If she agreed, what would be the point of asking Han Li to help rescue her sister, Lin Yi Yin?

Han Li remained silent, putting pressure on Lin Yi Wu.

He wouldn't provoke a late-stage Vital Spirit Realm cultivator for no reason, and it might even attract the Hehuan Sect. How could he agree without sufficient benefits?

A mere Lin Yi Wu was not worth the risk of exposing his cultivation and helping her.

Either the sisters marry him together, or she finds a way on her own.

There was a suspicion of taking advantage of her in a vulnerable state, but Han Li didn't care. He just wanted to give the two peerless beauties a home, protect them from harm, and prevent the sisters from being separated by life and death. What's wrong with that?

"Hoo~"

Lin Yi Wu remained silent for a long time, then finally let out a long breath and trembled as she said, "Han Li, you win."

These words seemed to drain all her strength, and she appeared somewhat dejected, lowering her proud head without expression.

Between Lin Yi Yin being forcibly taken as a concubine by an ugly cultivator and eventually dying, and the two sisters marrying Han Li as concubines, she ultimately chose the latter.

At least Han Li was handsome and a first-class beauty. At least Han Li wouldn't mistreat his concubines and treated each of them well. At least Han Li had a long lifespan and had the potential to advance to the Soul Refining stage. At least the sisters wouldn't be separated by life and death. At least...

In an instant, Lin Yi Wu found many reasons for herself, constantly persuading herself. But she didn't know when tears had already filled her face, and tears fell like pearls on a jade plate.

"Little sister, I'm sorry," Lin Yi Wu silently said in her heart.

When Lin Yi Wu raised her head again, she found that Han Li had already disappeared and hadn't taken advantage of the situation to do anything to her. This brought a hint of relief and gratitude to Lin Yi Wu's heart.

She was truly afraid that Han Li would do something to her at this moment, deliberately delaying time and not rescuing her sister, Lin Yi Yin.

In the bedroom, Han Li's figure appeared.

Although he had agreed to Lin Yi Wu, Han Li wouldn't recklessly charge in. He needed to make some preparations, which would take time. Fortunately, he had enough time.

Cui Pingyu attached great importance to Lin Yi Yin and planned to hold a grand concubine wedding for her in seven days. It was also possible that he wanted to use this opportunity to lure Lin Yi Wu and have her go and snatch Lin Yi Yin, capturing Lin Yi Wu as a concubine as well.

"A late-stage Vital Spirit Realm cultivator is not easy to deal with," Han Li frowned.

Cui Pingyu came from the Hehuan Sect, one of the four major sects in Leizhou. He was a core disciple and had mastered many Profound Grade techniques and martial arts, making him very powerful.

It wouldn't be easy to snatch someone from him and safely bring Lin Yi Yin back to Lingjun City without exposing his identity.

There must be formations guarding the Cui residence, and even if he infiltrated, it wouldn't be easy to take away Lin Yi Yin. He would easily be pursued by Cui Pingyu, and the risk of exposing his identity would be very high.

With his current identity, it wasn't suitable for him to approach Cui Pingyu and negotiate, exchanging treasures for Lin Yi Yin. A late-stage Vital Spirit Realm cultivator wouldn't care about a mere fifth-level Sea Opening Realm cultivator. He might even kill him to seize the treasure, and the probability of exposing his identity would be high in a battle.

The best way was to kill Cui Pingyu so that no one would come to pursue him temporarily. By the time the Hehuan Sect investigated, he would have already erased all traces.

The problem was that Cui Pingyu was not easy to kill. This person had connections with several powerful cultivators in Zhenyi City. Once a battle broke out, there was a high probability that reinforcements would arrive.

For the next three days, Han Li prepared intensively until he felt about 90% confident. Then he quietly left Lingjun City and headed to Zhenyi Mansion.
